hemp milk was fab
It may have been me (waving HI to everyone-it's been awhile since I have dropped in here) on another post. When I was researching alternatives for me with Bean, I found research suggesting that Hemp and Coconut were the most nutritionally sound and closest to cows milk in a nutrition sense. I could not find anything directly comparing them to one another, but I found hemp to taste totally disgusting!! I also chose coconut bc it had more fats in it than any other drink substitute. It also was the highest in cals if I remember right.
There is also a whole grain drink that you can sometimes find that has oats, amaranth, and a bunch of other grains that tastes quite good and is not a bad nutrition substitute.
I personally stayed away from soy as so much soy in the US is genetically modified and personally I don't trust that as they have no long term studies on how it is affecting us as a population.
My only issue with rice was it really did not contain much nutritionally. It was just good if you wanted to get cereal wet or if you needed something to replace a liquid in cooking.
That is my official contribution
I used the coconut milk in all baked goods for the family and it really worked well. Even in scrambled eggs, it made them a touch sweeter but not a noticeable coconut taste.
Sorry I haven't had more time to chat with all of you!!
